Don't name the zoo animal a six-year-old would shout first. We would type Adcrocuta: Deep Cut, +85, 9 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Cheetah, Domestic cat, Fox, or Leopard — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Woolly false vampire bat (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.
Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Woolly false vampire bat +100
